Can i stick PC3200 in my laptop when it's meant to take PC2700?? I think i can. It's cheaper for PC3200 and i assume it's cause more of it is made now.

It shouldn't cause any problems should it?

Thanks.

Ram of that stature is supposedly backward compatible ... your milage may vary. ;)


No, it should not burst into flames and consume the house. :thumb:


:D
 
Lol, thanks Mucks. I dont think it will consume the house, just wondered if im better buying 2700 or if 3200 will be just as good?

Mostly you should be able to use PC3200, it will just run slower if the motherboard can't go to 400 fsb.

But not always, some memory just won't run.

Try it and see, it usually works.
 
It should be backwards compatable, but you may be unlucky. Won't damage it though.
